Finally, “Free the Universe” is released! The long awaited dancehall/reggae/electronic fusion album from Major Lazer was officially released today. I received a leaked copy and was jamming hard to this album on the ski hill over the weekend. The standout tracks, in my opinion, are of course “Get Free”, the 2012 hit featuring Amber of the Dirty Projectors, but also the Skream remix of Jah No Partial – WOW. The drop sounds a lot like Skrillex’s Kyoto, but the fusion of the bass, garage and reggae styles on this remix is amazing. After first hearing the original “Jah No Partial”, I felt that there was a bit too much of the trap and bass elements from Flux Pavilion, but the Skream remix takes this track to above and beyond anything that the original contained.
Enjoy!
